yow!
something in my new ethno wintering room wasnt grounded and the whole place is covered in tin foil, somehow i grounded to a bit of water through my sandals and got sledged when i touched a wall with my thumb (just grazed it barely). HOLY FUCK
felt literally like a sledge hammer hitting my chest and i fell backward as if i was literally struck. my arm and finger that touched is still warm and itchy all over and i feel like shit. muscles in my stomach hurt.
THAT WAS A 220 hit to the CHEST
i need to be more careful. 
make sure to ground all wires.

yeah having crappy wiring is no good man. thats a fire waiting to happen. what I did was installed all new breakers and ran new wiring and receptacles for my growrooms. everything is well grounded and I have no loose wires or bad connections anywhere.

lol neon power supplies are from 7000 volts up to 15000 and maybe more. they are low current though so they wont kill you but they can shock the shit out of you. its like touching a spark plug wire with your car running.

If you ever see a water heater with a panel uncovered.. sometimes you will see like 6-8 screws with a different colored plastic near them.. dont touch the red and black one.. that will light ya up too.. i know from experience. I was pretty bored and was like.. "hmm these ones wont do anything but these two WILLLL AAHHHHH."

Ah man that's rough. Most of us live through those things but still.
I remember I was in a recording studio with some bad wiring...groped around in the dark to turn off a light switch and BAM my whole arm up through my shoulders and chest took a good zapping. I was closing the studio up for the night so I just cursed a ton and locked up without finishing my work haha. I remember being very weary of that area afterwards and it would suck to have that association with your grow room.
